According to the current research of human geographers, home can be defined as both a physical place which we inhabit, as well as an ideal infused with feelings of belonging, intimacy and connection. Globalization has given rise to a unique set of political, economic and environmental issues, casting daily life into a fast-paced state of flux, technology and superficial communication have become commonplace. While technology has increased the ease of global tourism networking, many travelers set off seeking refuge from the superficial interactions they experience daily. These nomadic tendencies are rooted in a desire to seek connection in the commonality of their peers, in search of their place in the globalized world. The hostel plays an important role as an anchoring point for those on nomadic journeys.
